Parker DH Damascus
 

Can someone post a picture of the end of the barrels. Looking at buying one trying to figure out if it was cut. Looked it up in the book not listed serial number 157045.

Good question...... if someone has good pictures of cut and uncut examples I would be glad to add them to an FAQ for permanent reference. It may help people to see the difference and know what to look for, I know I have text describing them in the FAQ #4 but pictures would be an improvement.

Ed, If you have the serialization book go to page 53 fig-14 & 15

Wish I didnt leave it in my office!

How close is your office ?

very early DH - length matches book and letter

Think it must be cut thereis no space at the end. Thanks for the pictures.

Some will say thats not always true . A letter might prove the barrels right.

Also we know that Parker cut barrels to fill an order.

Sometimes you need to look really close. These appear cut but on closer inspection are not. Check the bore size and the length of the choke.
